hi guys, sorry for my english

iam using a mac and have different coins with own wallets like cardano, raiblocks, spectrecoin, leviarcoin etc etc....

they all have own desktop wallets... iam concern about that maybe some wallets especially from smaller and newer coins might be spyware, malware, virus etc.?

is it possible that a wallet can be a spyware/virus and can spy my other wallets or maybe damage the other wallets Huh

Thx @ all sry i hope you understand

I understand your concern 100% and that is my fear with the newer wallets as well. I am not sure if they can jump around and infect other wallets with spyware but I protect myself just in case this can happen. If your computer has enough power or is fast enough I would advocate running a virtual machine. These machines can be found online and it basically will be a mini computer inside your computer. That is how you can protect against these wallets if they have any malicious intent.
